The meme of "girl who is going to be okay" would go amazing with this and I was laughing for a bit while reading your essay bc that's what reminded me of :) on another note, this is beautifully written and I cannot explain how much I want to take screenshots of this to put it on my wall as a reminder. Lately I have been feeling very lost in life so I have a deep appreciation for a piece of yours to tell me it's okay if I feel that way, that it can get better and we should remain hopeful despite our individual hardships 🤎

This was really so beautiful <3 like, wow. <3

I truly think nostalgia often overpowers our hope for the future, mostly because of the fear that comes with all the unknowns. But maybe that’s the point of life(?) To be surprised by what comes next. To let it unfold without needing to know everything first.
